A high priority train of refrigerator cars runs over the Tabor and Waldo RR. While the shipment is high priority, the crew maintains a cautious speed across the high line, above Batey Hollow. Trackside railfans buzz about the stock car at the front. Livestock and iced refrigerator cars each require special handling that would delay the other's priority freight.
Shutters click as the foamers watch the train sweep around the curve after leaving the town of Tabor behind.
No matter how time sensitive the freight, you can't have steam without water stops. The tank at Batey Hollow answers the need.
Carpe Manana!

Start of the annual festival at Bergen Point New Jersey.
Many trains travel from near and far to visit the mecca.
This set is traveling twelve hundred miles from Kansas City Missouri.
Only five cars but filled with festive holiday revellers.
Almost at the end of the trip as the set passes Denville New Jersey as the sun sets this chilly day.

Some sets are already resting in one of the Frankford Yard facilities.
Nearly ten yards in and around Bergen Point New Jersey.
Easily can store over two thousand freight and passenger cars in their huge complex network.
Just a tiny sample here in Bayonne Heights New Jersey.

Nice! I love the almost real-feel of those pics, looking "up" at the passenger coaches.
On the Ephrata Valley Railroad, a railfan captures a Santa Fe F9 A&B pair hard at work hauling a freight train on the outer line, past the Southern Oil Co.
Meanwhile, a Union Pacific GP40-2 is spotted on the inner loop, hauling freight destined for the Schuylkill Valley Station.
